echo_hello

A slightly odd way to do shell scripting. Take the command you want to run, replace spaces between arguments with underscores, and install this program with that name.

For example, rather than making a shell script containing 'exec lpr -Pmyprinter "$@"' you can simply

% ln -s echo_hello lpr_-Pmyprinter
    

Economize on file contents! Store your programs in the filename!
